Simple, Quick Question - RE: Occupy Movement [View all]

[WiffenPoof]

I have been "debating" a right of center friend of mine on the issue of the Occupy Movement. He, predictably, feels that the Occupy Movement is filled with hippies and spoiled anti-Americans, etc. etc.

I argued back that the Occupy Movement is a result of the President's failure to follow through on many of his campaign promises...such as dealing with the greedy bastards on Wall Street. I told him that after a period of time, it dawned on many of us that President Obama wasn't playing three-dimensional chess after all...he simply wasn't going to do the things he promised and it was time to take to the streets.

Am I wrong in my assessment?

-P

On Edit: Please don't interpret my post as blaming President Obama for our current economic situation. I didn't actually think I had to explain that. I'm merely saying that he has not addressed the Wall Street issue as he stated he would during the campaign and that is at least partially responsible for the Occupy Movement. What is wrong with this place?!
